CD20 antibodies

REA780 recognizes the human CD20 antigen, a non-glycosylated transmembrane protein of 33–37 kDa that is expressed on B lineage cells from the pre–B cell stage to the B cell lymphoblast stage. The antigen is further expressed on most malignant B cells. CD20 is not found on early B cell progenitors or plasma cells. Oligomers of CD20 form a Ca

2+

channel and might function in the regulation of local responses during B cell activation.

Applications

Reagent can be used for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. Abnormal numbers of cells expressing this antigen or aberrant expression levels of the antigen can be expected in some disease states. It is important to understand the normal expression pattern for this antigen and its relationship to expression of other relevant antigens in order to perform appropriate analysis.

Expression of CD20 may be used as aid to diagnostic in the characterization of samples from individuals suspected with hematologic neoplasia.
